I'm new to owning and working on OHVs. I am trying to change the ratio of my stock chain and sprockets, as I heard it would provide much needed torque for hills. I don't have a lot of cash right now, so I was thinking of just changing the front sprocket to an 11 tooth. Would this work?

I was aiming for a 3.3 ratio also based on post searches I found of yours and a few others. But whats the 438 chain. Is that smaller links than the stock? |

Yes, 428 chain has smaller links. Also note that the 12 tooth sprocket cannot be mounted with the standard locking ring. It'll need a spacer and snap ring instead.

Do you know where to buy steel rear sprockets for the rhino?

I assume if I change to a larger sprocket, I will need a new larger chain? How do you know what size to buy? Say I go with the 11/37 in 530 chain. How does that change from stock?

Ok, you convinced me. I'm going with the 428 chain 118 links, sprocket 12 front/40 rear.
What kind of retaining device do I need for the front sprocket? |

For the 12 tooth 428 front sprocket you'll need a spacer to fit behind it. I cut the teeth off an old sprocket, it makes a perfect spacer and prevents anything from rubbing on the seal. Then you'll need a snap ring to hold the new sprocket on the countershaft. I fit 2 standard snap rings into the groove. I vaguely remember the snap rings being 5/8" but best measure to be sure. They aren't a tight fit but they don't need to be.
